Alice on Linux
August 25, 2006 05:58 AM
Hi,
I was able to run American Mcgee's Alice on Suse 10.0 and I think it will work on others too. I used Wine 0.9.19
On my Windows setup, I downloaded a nocd crack. I find games that require you to put in the CD to be stupid specially when you choose to do a full install.
I went into Linux, copied the entire Alice folder over.
From the console, go to the folder and execute : wine alice.exe
To my surprise, the performance is near identical. Same FPS most of the time (perhaps all of the time?)
I had the sound on Miles. I don't know about the others.
No graphical problems on my Radeon 9700 with latest drivers.
The only problem is that the mouse was not moving too well, but it's playable and when the game was suppose to go to the next level, it went to the main menu.
Some sites linux-gamers.net suggest that you install it from the CD, but Wine has issues with that. Copying the folder from Win to Lin is better.
PS: the Wine website sucks. http://winehq.com

an open source GLU replacement library. Much more modern than GLU.
float matrix[16], inverse_matrix[16];
glhLoadIdentityf2(matrix);
glhTranslatef2(matrix, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0);
glhRotateAboutXf2(matrix, angleInRadians);
glhScalef2(matrix, 1.0, 1.0, -1.0);
glhQuickInvertMatrixf2(matrix, inverse_matrix);
glUniformMatrix4fv(uniformLocation1, 1, FALSE, matrix);
glUniformMatrix4fv(uniformLocation2, 1, FALSE, inverse_matrix);

Sure, it is OpenGL and Quake3 engine.
